Plenty of old vehicles have their devotees, but there can’t be many to beat the appeal of the Volkswagen Camper – as we found out at a recent event in South Wales.

Dubs at the Castle drew VW enthusiasts, most in campers, to Caldicot Castle in Monmouthshire. We went out of curiosity – and our Pao created some curiosity of its own – and were stunned by the scale of the event, which clearly shows the enduring appeal of this remarkable vehicle.

The pictures below show just a sample of the vans in attendance. We think we want one!
